Not sure that's the actual reason.  getaddrinfo is a WinSock call
which, probably, never ignores its hosts file.

(null) is the replacement string when printf'ing a NULL pointer as
string.  So it seems ssh called getaddrinfo with a NULL pointer for
node and service.

Can you call `ssh -vvv centaur' and see if the debug output gives
some clue as to what happens?
